Primary--probably exclusive--audience for this weblog is students in one of a variety of classes. I'm having students in Writing About Popular Culture keep blogs, and some are on Blogger, so I wanted to refamiliarize myself with how the interface works.

I'm struck today, after the Emmy Awards (which I didn't watch), by some discrepancy between shows which receive awards and shows which people watch. I'll ask my class, but my impression is that _The West Wing_ serves as a prestige show, but people tune in to junk . . . maybe I'm being too Frankfort School here.

Long enough for a test post . . .
